[gradsusr] Grads Installaltion on Ubuntu (WSL)

[Tan, Haochen]

Dear experts,

I tried to install GrADS in Ubuntu (WSL), downloaded from  http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/downloads.php. It passed the configuration but failed on make.

See below:


config.status: executing libtool commands
 +=========================================================================+
   GrADS 2.2.1 : Configured on 01/07/24 for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  +=========================================================================+

  |  - READLINE disabled          |
  |  - GEOTIFF disabled           |
  |  - shapefile disabled         |
  |  + GD enabled                 |
  |  + CAIRO enabled              |
  |  - GRIB2 disabled             |
  |  - HDF4 disabled              |
  |  - HDF5 disabled              |
  |  - NETCDF disabled            |
  |  - OPeNDAP disabled           |
  |                               |
  +-------------------------------+

Run 'make && make install' to build GrADS.
Executables will be installed to bin/ in current dir, unless prefix was specified.

I have checked line 6000 in the configure file and it shows " sympat='\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)' ". I thought it was some typo in the configuration but now it feels like it is because of libs from GD. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,
Haochen
